Question

An unknown compound is insoluble in water. It is dissolved in HCl with a gas formation with an effervescence and gives a precipitate with K2S solution. Which compound is it?

 SOLUBILITY RULES

Solubilities of ionic substances in water:

1)      All salts of Na+, K+, NH4+ are soluble in water.

2)      All salts of NO3-, CH3COO- are soluble in water.

3)      All salts of Cl-, Br-, I- are soluble in water (except Ag+, Pb2+, Hg22+ )

4)      All salts of SO42- are soluble in water ( except Ba2+, Pb2+, Sr2+)

SO42-  of Ca2+, Ag+, Hg22+  are slightly soluble in water.

5) All salts of CO32-, PO43- are insoluble in water (except Na+, K+, NH4+)

6) All salts of        S2- are insoluble in water ( except Na+, K+, NH4+, Ba2+,Ca2+, Mg2+, Sr2+)

7) All salts of O2-, OH- are insoluble in water ( except Na+, K+, NH4+, (Ba2+))

OH- of Ca2+, Sr2+, (Ba2+) are slightly soluble in water

OH- of Mg2+  is very very slightly soluble in water
